TIMBRE GROUP ECO SYSTEM

TIMBRE GROUP ECO SYSTEM

Each of Timbre Group’s subsidiary supports one another in the overall company’s vision to grow as a music lifestyle group. !Starting out with only Timbre live music venue championing Singaporean musicians, this has now grown to a chain of three with musicians performing nightly. In addition, Mandarin & English live music venue Switch opens up a new platform for versatile bilingual musicians. !New F&B venture Barber Shop created more diversity in group’s offerings. Barber Shop hosts bands specialising in blues, funk and soul; a cornerstone laid for the future House of Timbre. !!

TIMBRE GROUP ECO SYSTEM

As the group grows in awareness of supporting musicians, the next natural step was to create a music education service, Timbre Music Academy to train up the next wave of musicians who in turn will have the chance to perform on Timbre stages. !On a professional level, Timbre Music was set up as a talent development agency to manage this same group of Timbre musicians and to nurture young talents. As the business grew, so did the range of services provided. Timbre Music now supports external corporate gigs with production equipment and is also promoter for gigs and large scale music festival Timbre Rock & Roots. !Now going into its fifth year, Timbre Rock & Roots has presented artists the likes of Bob Dylan, John Legend, The Fray, Gipsy Kings, Buddy Guy, Imogen Heap and much more. !!!

TIMBRE GROUP ECO SYSTEMThe festival experience the group has also allows it to create and become the brand owner of Beerfest Asia, a 4-day trade and lifestyle event that sees over 30 exhibitors coming together to present close to 500 different kind of beers with lifestyle components such as international tribute bands and stand-up comedy acts. Each Beerfest Asia welcomes an average of 30,000 attendees. !Records and music play a huge branding part for 12-inch Pizzas & Records. By mixing this with Timbre’s popular thin crust pizzas, it reinforces the group’s direction of good food + good music. 12-inch also serves breakfasts to 600 guests daily at V Hotel and is the operating kitchen for Timbre 12-inch Delivery. For in house functions, Timbre Catering delivers full event solutions from venue selection, menus, entertainment and logistics. !
